" including one incident where Baillie performed a Guinness-related party trick after colleagues asked him to show it off." Is this just splitting the G? If so, it's the most mundane thing in the history of alcohol related party tricks.

what is splitting the G? I'm not a big drinker

According to ChatGPT it's the skill of taking exactly one sip such that when you put the Guiness glass down the new beer level ends up precisely through the horizontal middle of the "G".

According to LadBible the actual trick was drinking a pint of Guinness while standing on his head.

Don't engage in a parasocial relationship with your employer. They're not your friends.

> They're not your friends

Your co-workers can be your friends. But we're not obligated to be. If you're my friend and colleague, sure, vent to me. If we're not, I don't give a flyig fuck about your views on geopolitics or gender or whatever, particulalry if you owe me a deliverable, doubly so if you've chosen a hot-button issue nobody actually has any new takes on other than blind agreement or condemnation. (And unless they’re voiced outside work in a way that affects me, I don’t have a right to care about it either.)

I appreciate you taking the time to look it up so the rest of us don’t have to.

Nor am I but I found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL35y1nTkxQ

It seems to be a challenge where you drink a specific amount from a pint in one try such that the bottom of the foam splits the Guinness logo. It's not even a huge amount. It seems to less than 20% of the pint eyeballing it.
